ladder so that the bottom of the ladder was 4 feet away from the
wall. If his ladder was 13 feet long, how high up was the top of the
ladder against the wall of the house?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem

4^2 + b^2 = 13^2

16 + b^2 = 169

b^2 = 153

b=12.4 feet
